In addition, the student should be able to feel that he has at least one authoritative friend in the University to whom he can go . For this reason, the number of students assigned to any one advisor must necessarily be small enough to allow him to per- form his duties fully, and without forcing upon him an unreasonable burden. Such a line of action will not, of course; in itself solve the ills of the modern educational system. Musch , depends on the use made of the in- formation gathered from the student.- The material must actually be studied and classified, and the student's abili- ties analyzed in the light of revela- tions which the questionnaire may make. The new admission plan marks the beginning of a movement to "hu- manize" education at Michigan. It has been worked out with the co- operation of the Michigan State Teachers' association, indicating that the teachers of the state stand solidly behind the proposals. Given an equal vote of confidence from all those con- nected with the University, the ven- ture should meet with unlooked-for success. JUST ANOTHER LIFE-TO THEM The death a few days ago of Blair Pursglove, '29, brings to mind another accident, which resulted in the death of Floyd Goodwin, '29, last fall at the same grade crossing on M-23.

The fact is we had a column al- ready written and then we found ourl mail and as we read it, one at a time we jerked our own stuff and put in what post had brought and this is' the result. Not that we bergrudge the' authors of this one little bit. In fact we would like to do this often.

DE VORE That the memory of Mich- igan's fifth great Plesident may remain always in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. "UMANIZING" Agreement on the part of Univer- sity authorities and representatives of state high schools as to a new form of blank on which freshmen will hereafter make application for admission to the University having been reached, President Little's plan for "humanizing" education is one step nearer realization. The machinery has now been provided, at least in part, for establishing a closer con- nection between the University, high schools, and entering students; it only remains to put it into actual and practical operation . On the new form of admission blank, the entering student will give infornation concerning his past scholastic training, cite certain facts about his home and home life, and outline his plans for financing his college career. A second part will give personal information about the candidate, provided by one who has observed his high school work, and covering questions of literary and scholastic ability and attainments; his force of character; and other in- terests of the student. The usual scholastic record of the student, and the high school principal's sugges- tions for course of study, will also be requested. On the basis of information pro- vided in this blank, it is the belief of those who have prepared it, name- ly the joint committee representing the University committee on adrn' sions and the principals' depart- ment of the Michigan State Teachers' association committee on college en- trance requirements, that the Uni- versity will be in a better position to counsel and advise the student in outlining his course of study. Inso- far as possible, applications of all entering students will Teach the re istrar's office early in June. These will then be turned over to members of the freshman advisory committee, n, limlp nnm a-nv ois n -i -or GRAHjA 'S BOOK months! instruct this course.
